AN OPEN LETTER FROM EDTECH LEADERS
Endorsing LTI Advantage as the Preferred Industry Standard for Learning Tool Integration
WHY IS LTI ADVANTAGE SO IMPORTANT?
LTI Advantage leverages open standards to achieve the following key benefits for IT, faculty, instructional designers, and students:
-
Reliable, productive, and innovative faculty experiences with technology
-
Trusted security of student data and results data passed between applications
-
Minimal technical barriers ensure that digital services are ready on day one of learning
-
Plug-and-play integration that significantly reduces the cost and time to connect digital tools and content
-
Deep integration of specific learning objects, content, and digital resources within the fabric of course content
-
Easy to consume learning analytics data supports student success
To ensure that all benefits are realized across all learning environments, 1EdTech members have put in place a certification program and product directory available at imscert.org that is governed by a proven and trusted community process. For institutions to achieve plug-and-play integrations it is of paramount importance that edtech suppliers certify LTI Advantage and that institutions set requirements to purchase 1EdTech certified products and expect their suppliers to be current with 1EdTech standards.
See the supplier organizations that have committed to being among the first to implement and obtain 1EdTech conformance certification for LTI Advantage.
